Sometimes we like things that we don’t really need but really want because they’re AWESOME. Perhaps this is one of those times, but I really can’t help myself this time.

Nemo Power Tools, a manufacturer of a number of pretty awesome power tools mostly designed for wet areas, has recently released the Nemo SPECIAL OPS power drill, which is catered towards those working in Special Forces. Translation: it’s super cool and I want one.

The SPECIAL OPS is coated with a tough black paint that’s salt water resistant and no logo, so you can work incognito. The drill will work in water up to 328 feet in depth (100m) and comes with a pressure valve and pump for pressurization. The tool comes complete with several accessories that you’ll obviously need, as well, like two 6Ah rechargeable batteries, a diving headlamp, a diving tool belt with tool bag, and a handy waterproof bag to keep your charger dry.

No price is currently listed on Nemo’s website for the SPECIAL OPS, but there’s no doubt it will cost more than the Nemo Diver V2 Submersible Drill that operates at 50m underwater and is priced at $725 on Amazon.

While you may not exactly need the SPECIAL OPS, having one of the other underwater drills handy could save some time in a plumbing emergency or if you’re working on a pool or your boat. Of course, it would also be fun just to get one and show it off to your friends.

For many construction superintendents and project managers across the world, tablets are becoming one of the most important tools on the job site. They’re great for looking at plans, taking pictures, making notes, and running your favorite construction apps. Carrying a tablet does take up at least one of your hands, however, so it can be a hindrance if you need to help a co-worker lift material or climb a ladder.

Tape measure, wheel measure, and laser measures are all great tools for their own situations, but why isn’t there one that can do all three of those jobs? That doesn’t have to be a question anymore, because there’s a new smart measure hitting the market that can do it all.

Why should Luke Skywalker and the gang get to have all the fun with lightsabers? The time has finally come for grown men and women to show how much of a true fan of the Star Wars Empire they with a set of 3 lightsaber screwdrivers. Sure, they might not be as comfortable and rugged as our favorite traditional tool manufacturer’s versions are, but, I ask you this: can you current screwdrivers strike fear into the dark side?

The best part of any construction job is making a mess. The worst part is cleaning up. With all the talk of robots entering the job site and doing all the fun stuff for us, why in the world have we not been pouring money into robots that will clean for us?! Makita may have answered our prayers, as Makita Japan has released an automated robotic vacuum that can handle the odd materials in your workshop or job site.

Accidents happen when you least expect them and many times they’re caused by tools and equipment you use every day on the job. All it takes is a split second before disaster can strike, so every one of them counts. That’s where technology can step in and prevent major injuries before they happen and that’s exactly what Bosch is hoping to accomplish with the pending release of their new flesh detecting table saw.

Steel workers have one of the most dangerous jobs on a construction site and, while safety has significantly improved in the past few decades, it often comes with a productivity decrease or cost increase. Depending on the job site, the use of ladders or lifts could be a safety hazard itself.

iPin is releasing a new product that will use your phone's headphone jack as an accessory port. The product will allow your phone to become a full-on laser measuring device. The iPin Spatial Ruler allows the user to measure the length between any two points in a shared photo, or the distance from your phone to some far away point.
